Capitale

What Capitale does

Capitale (legally 130 Bowery Hospitality IZ LLC) is a privately held, single-location luxury event venue operating from the landmark former Bowery Savings Bank building at 130 Bowery in Manhattan's Nolita/Lower East Side. The 14,000-square-foot Beaux-Arts interior, designed by architect Stanford White in 1893 and restored under NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission guidelines, features Corinthian columns, Venetian glass, marble mosaic floors, and 65-foot vaulted ceilings. The venue is composed of a 7,000-square-foot Main Ballroom (capacity 550 seated / 1,500 standing), a 3,400-square-foot Prefunction Room, a 3,400-square-foot Gallery Room, and private suites on the upper level. The company is led by President Claudia Baricevic Case and operates with approximately 29 employees.

Revenue is generated primarily through venue rental on an exclusive one-event-at-a-time basis, augmented by in-house catering and full bar services, event coordination, and access to a curated vendor ecosystem (florals, music, rentals, photography, transport, cakes, invitations) and an exclusive production partner for sound, staging, and lighting. Pricing is fully quote-based and not publicly disclosed; each proposal is customized to date, guest count, food and beverage, event timing, and production needs, with a separate Not-For-Profit rate offered to charity groups. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, with prospects booking private venue tours via the website or phone (212-334-5500), supported by a presence on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

Capitale serves both enterprise and private clients across weddings, corporate events, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, social celebrations, and nonprofit galas. Named customers include Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and Chase, Deutsche Bank, Barclays Capital, Citi, Columbia University, Mount Sinai Medical Center, Tommy Hilfiger, ABC, and Conde Nast; the venue has also hosted political events such as a fundraiser for President William J. Clinton and television productions (Gossip Girl, Top Chef New York). The business model is asset-heavy and physically constrained to one property, with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or subsidiaries. Notable recognition includes the BizBash "Best Ballroom East Coast" award (2014) and the secured hosting of the FIFA x Big Art Festival Gala on July 16, 2026, ahead of the FIFA World Cup Final.
